Hey man that sucks! 😖

 

But don't worry it may be something that can be easily explained and quickly remedied. 😀

If you have unexplained strain on the alt/ voltage drop of any type.  One thing to do is to check your batteries. If you have a corrupted cell then you may be dumping current into a battery that will never hold that charge. This in turn can cause you alt to overwork to try to maintain its voltage under a constant load.

 

One way to check if this is the issue is to isolate the components of the system.

 

Start by testing the battery under a load tester or "battery health tester" at your local auto parts store. (This should be a free service)

Ill try that out then, Mechman said i can send it and and they will take a look at it because it wont even put out rated voltage of 14.9, it barly can keep it at 14.5......... 

Ill try it with the d3100 then try it with the d3400 and see if theres a differance.  ANd im gonna swap to stock alt and see if it stops too.

Put old alt in and the problem went away, so it has to be the Mechman alt.  It even idles smoother.   Gonna be sending it in here soon.

 

If it was the battery's it would do it with any alt right?
